Im Chae-moo will appear as a guest on tvN's 'You Quiz' on the 2nd. As the "Mr. Tall" of Duri Land who has been safeguarding children's dreams for 37 years, he has become an inspiration to many.

On this day, Im Chae-moo will reveal his extraordinary journey of preserving Duri Land despite a debt of 19 billion won and the threat of bankruptcy since first establishing the children's theme park in May 1990. He will also share the story behind his decision to build an amusement park after witnessing children getting injured among drunk vacationers in a valley near filming locations during his days as a bit-part actor, as well as how he disposed of his Mokdong commercial complex and Yeouido home during his peak earning years when he was making millions in income, investing approximately 25 billion won to create Duri Land.

He will also share stories ranging from starting on an empty 1,500-pyeong plot of land with the dream of creating "a space where entire families can enjoy a day" and expanding it into a 3,000-pyeong, four-story amusement park, to anecdotes about personally overseeing every detail while living in the Duri Land shower room under construction, adding to the surprise.

The narrative continues with Im Chae-moo's relentless struggle to preserve Duri Land out of love for children. Listeners will hear stories including how he removed the ticket booth just one week after opening after seeing a young couple, and how the park eventually faced bankruptcy 20 years after its launch.

Im Chae-moo, who has been operating at a loss for 37 years, admits, "Think of me as a 'debtor'." Nevertheless, he will convey his sincere commitment to preserving Duri Land because he loves seeing children smile and play, adding emotional depth.

Even in situations where monthly electricity bills reach tens of millions of won, he will reveal his sense of responsibility in boldly demolishing amusement rides worth hundreds of millions of won for the safety of children, as well as the story behind creating a special stage for children with Down syndrome. "Children give me life," says Im Chae-moo, who has been safeguarding children's happiness for 37 years. All of his stories will be featured in the broadcast.

'You Quiz' airs every Wednesday at 8:45 p.m.
